The benefit to my students has been nothing short of amazing. Welcome to this great classroom!; ▶ Reply to This

I am looking for ways to use technology in my classroom. My high school is undergoing a redesign and one part of that process is rolling out a New Tech High. I'm eager to learn all I can about how to use students' ease with technology and networking and collaborating to our advantage. I can't wait to learn more!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Debra Baker on March 27, 2008 at 6:30pm: Hi. I'm Debra and I have been teaching 8th grade Language Arts at a middle school in St. Louis for the past 11 years. I also serve as the building's Language Arts Department Chair. I am the mom of a kindergarten student and of a second grader. I joined this network because I am looking for collaborative writing projects and for ideas on how other teachers use 2.0 tools to increase engagement in the Language Arts classroom.; ▶ Reply to This

I am located in Chicago, but we have schools in the Midwest and on the East Coast. I am looking to use technology to connect our teachers around the country. This looks like a great place to start!; ▶ Reply to This

It will be fun to see which Web 2.0 technologies "grab" you for this task. I can immediately think of ways that you could use blogs or wikis to do some fun things. Maybe you are already.

You might also want to check out http://education.ning.com. I suspect you'll find the Ning platform might be a good one for connecting teachers!

I teach in Australia and have made some wonderful connections with teachers around the globe. My students have also been connected by this means. Join some of the wonderful groups that are part of this classroom and if you are interested in connecting to other countries, check out the distance collaborations group; ▶ Reply to This
